I hear ya brother.

I work in telecom for a phone systems manufacturer. The competition is pretty fierce, and knowing how a competitor's system is equipped (and more importantly, priced) is fairly valuable information. The problem is that most of the qualified people, especially on the sales or sales engineering side, will work for one or more of these competitors at some point in the future. It behooves those of us in the business NOT to screw with an employer in this manner, because the odds are very high that we will end up working with that employer again in another capacity or partnered role of some sort. Everyone knows everyone. It's the ethics of self-preservation.
